All of this sounds delicious. A little heavy on the booze for a Monday though. A Wednesday or Thursday event seems like it would get a better turnout. But I'm just an old man. What do I know?
ReplyDeletei am in heavy training this week with wholesome food intake, loads of exercises, and water by the gallon. the weend of st. patrick is near.
ReplyDeleteThere will be bacon. I drink your Litigation Ale!
ReplyDeleteor just exercise.
ReplyDeleteThis will be fun. As Mark points out, my Tuesday morning will be less fun.
ReplyDeletei have an 8-hour management meeting on tuesday. i'm going to be a joy to be around.
ReplyDeleteThe students of 826DC appreciate your commitment and willingness to sacrifice your Tuesday coherence for the cause.
ReplyDeleteThe Teej will also be trying new foods tonight, for a change. All for charity, of course. And beer.
ReplyDeleteWhat the fuck is a "Crudo of Hamachi"?
ReplyDeleteFish on a cracker.
ReplyDeleteI saw FOG:TB Jenny Elegance yesterday and she asked me "So ... who's in charge of the Gheorghe Twitter feed? Because I keep asking that person to meet for drinks and eventually I realized it isn't you."
ReplyDeleteTJ may want to bring his own bottle of ketchup tonight. Not sure there will be any on the table.
ReplyDeleteOr French dressing a la Kwame Brown.
ReplyDeleteso is gtb running a pool this march?
ReplyDeleteFood selection looks really good. But the beer selection looks awesome and tasty.
ReplyDeleteYou can't find this outside of a free market society.

Why aren't the bulls Los toros?
ReplyDeleteLos Toros would have been fantastic.
ReplyDeleteBrrr it's cold in here, must be some toros in the atmosphere.
ReplyDeleteThe same reason the Heat are 'El Heat'. Because the NBA is lazy and they half ass their Noche Latino theme nights.
